WHAT THIS GLOSSARY CONSISTS OF: 

1. A file called GLOSSARY.HTML
2. This README.TXT file
3. A folder with 465 files.


WHY SO MANY FILES? 

Speed. 

By putting each definition in its own document, it is faster 
than putting over 500 definitions on one page. 


WHAT IS NEW IN VERSION 2.01?

For version 2, very single page has been redesigned to help 
navigation. The abbreviations page was deleted because they 
are in the main menu. There are also a number of words that 
were added or updated. 

Version 2.01 fixed some minor HTML code (the language that 
creates a Web page) in version 2 that might have created problems. 


CAN I OVERWRITE VERSION 1? 

No. Delete Version 1 and start again because this is glossary is 
completely redesigned. If you have version 1.1, delete it and 
replace it with this one. 


WHY THE "REGISTRATION"?  

I may want to survey users later about the value. 

Your email address will not be shared with any third parties.

Meanwhile, please note that "registration" is not required to 
download the file. 


HOW TO INSTALL THE GLOSSARY

These files are designed to work on PCs or Macs. 

Download it to a selected folder on your hard drive.

Open the file (using WinZip, StuffIt Expander etc.)and save it 
to your selected folder. 

The extracted folder will be named "p5glossV2." 


HOW TO FIND IT (IF MISPLACED)

Technically, it really doesn't matter where the folder is, as 
long as you have a shortcut/alias. (See below) But if you extract 
it and then can't find it, PC users should open FIND then 
FILES & FOLDERS under START. 

Mac users, Sherlock (Cmd-F) will find it.

TIP: If that didn't work, the file name may have changed in the 
extraction. Try looking for "p5glossV2" and then see what folder 
it is in.  

HOW TO ACCESS THE GLOSSARY WITH A SHORTCUT/ALIAS

PC: Highlight glossary.html. Right click and select SEND TO 
and then DESKTOP (CREATE SHORTCUT) and it will be created on 
your desktop. 

MAC: 
1. Launch your Web browser
2. Choose "Open File" or "open page" in the File menu and open the 
file glossary.html in the p5glossV2 folder
3. Choose "Add Page to Favorites" in the Favorites menu or "Add 
Bookmark" in the Bookmarks menu


TIPS ON USING THE GLOSSARY 

This is designed to work while you are not on the Internet. 

There are some links to pages that require you are connected to 
the Internet.  


HOW TO DELETE/REMOVE THE GLOSSARY 

Because this glossary is not a program, it will not install 
anything else on your computer. Therefore, you can delete it 
as you would any folder.
